J.Walker in town?

[ice grillin you]

outside of mcnabb and perhaps sheldon they eagles havent really developed any of reids picks into front line players

they sure know how to bring out the best of the reno mahes rod hoods and jaamal jacksons of the world tho

Greg Lewis went from a UDFA to being a 3rd WR on a NFL team that went to the Super Bowl, i guess that doesn't count?

[Wingspan]

Ah yes... when all else fails, blame the position coach.

i think cully sucks too. just look at the numbers...the only WR that had an very good - outstanding season was owens, who didnt have to adjust to anything when he got here.

just look at this list of WRs
Na Brown
Dameane Douglas
Charles Johnson*
Todd Pinkston
Torrance Small*
Freddie Mitchell
Gari Scott
James Thrash
Greg Lewis
Billy McMullen

you'd think, even accidentally, one of them would have had a 900 yard season

[SunMo]

what a list of trash that is...but it's the WR coaches fault, what about the guy picking those guys?

he's going to be 4th now when its all said and done...

a few of them were actually productive elsewhere in the nfl (charles johson, thrash as a return guy), or at least productive to above average college players (mitchell, mcmullen, pinkston, gari scott).

so i think a good chunk of the blame falls on the position coach.

[SunMo]

so being productive as a punt returner on another team means the WR coach failed here?

all of those guys, with maybe the exception of Johnson have not gone on to do anything else in the NFL as a wide reciever.

no it doesn't count because he shouldn't be a 3rd WR for any team.

[ice grillin you]

the thing that jumps out with that list is that they were all slow footed surehanded non athletic character guys...aka typical andy reid picks

disagree....hes definitely got the hands and speed for that position...give the guy some credit

I heard Na Brown rapes kittens.

yeah...lets take a teeny tiny nibblet of my point and blow it up like i was fighting to the death to be right.

thrash is the only WR that has logged over 800 yards in one season not named terrell owens. and johnson and thrash are the only WRs that have had 60+catch seasons not named terrell owens. 

can you show me where ANY wr was developed in house and considered a success? i cant.

Brown looks to be the future exception. but there are far many failures before him.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

he's going to be 4th now when its all said and done...

Even if he's not the 4th, he's a 4th.  I actually like Greg Lewis as a 4th.  I also like Reggie Brown as a 2nd/3rd.  And if he's healthy, I think Pinkston is a good change of pace on the outside... a 3rd/4th option.

So, we're missing a starter.

[SunMo]

can you show me where ANY wr was developed in house and considered a success? i cant.

no, i can't, we agree on that.  the point is, it's because they've drafted garbage at that position.  you can't name me any any WR they've drafted that's gone on be developed by anybody, on any team

[ice grillin you]

wr coaches dont develop players...they are there to take the wide receivers  to the other side of the practice field and toss them out routes when the meaningful coaches are developing another position


And if he's healthy, I think Pinkston is a good change of pace on the outside

im going on the premise that pinky isnt even going to play this year...anything you get out of him is 100% a bonus..therefore they are two wr's short
